Evolution of Love 2

PAIN……..(From THE LEARNED)……....

1. " We are afraid of Ourselves, of Our Own REALITY; OUR Feelings Most of all. People talk about how great love is, but it has its own SCARS too. Love HURTS. Feelings are Disturbing. People are taught that Pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with Love if they’re Afraid to Feel? Pain is meant to WAKE US UP. People try to Hide their pain. But they’re WRONG. Pain WE MUST CARRY. You feel Your STRENGTH in the Experience of pain - It is all in how YOU carry it. That Is What Matters. Pain is a FEELING. Your Feelings are a part of you. YOUR OWN REALITY. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting Your Own Reality being DESTROYED. STAND UP for your Right to FEEL YOUR PAIN......" – Marienne Williamson

2. " You think your Pain and your Heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then - YOU READ. It is Books that have TAUGHT me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that CONNECTED ME with all the people who are ALIVE, or who had ever been Alive - WE ALL SHARE, All of US carry Our Own Cross.... - Only and only We - Can Distribute the load amongst ourselves." – James Baldwin

3. " Pain is a PESKY part of being human. I have learned it feels like a Stab Wound to the Heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then, I have ALSO LEARNED that because of pain, I can feel the BEAUTY,TENDERNESS ,and FREEDOM of Healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then HEALING feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but HEALING is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our FACES........" – C.Joy Bell C

4. " Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages US, EVERY ONE. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We CAN BE MENDED. WE MEND EACH OTHER....." – Veronica Roth

BUT - TO HANDLE, NAY OVERCOME " PAIN ".....From the ONE WHO KNOWS........

" Let me NOT pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but TO BE Fearless in facing them.
Let me NOT BEG for the stilling of my Pain, but
FOR THE HEART to CONQUER IT......." - Rabindranath Tagore

I BOW TO THAT.....
